Fly Or Die: The New Xbox Metro UI
Erick isn't much of a gamer, which is why he's particularly suited at assessing the new Xbox 360 UI, dubbed Metro by those in the know. Aside from the obvious changes in design, the UI actually makes it easier for guys like Erick to use the Xbox to watch movies, Youtube videos, UFC fight, and other media ephemera that thus far has been lacking in the Xbox experience.Microsoft knows that the 360 is reaching the end of its life cycle and next gen stuff will probably be announced by the next E3. That said, this update allows the stragglers - folks who have been thinking about an Xbox but who may not play games - to purchase the device as a media center rather than a games machine.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lO7mWeAa9io/
